THE GREAT BARNUM AND
LONDON SHOWS.
Immense Additions of Un-
equaled Marvels.

Fortunately for the multitudinous lovers
of the marvellous and amusing, and the
ugly and warlike look of affairs in Eu
rope has compelled P. T. Barnum & Co. to
abandon their contemplated foreign tour.
and the ten great united shows will remain
at home-as they ought to-apd will exhibit
10 Butler, on Wednesday, October 5th. 1t
is saying very great deal to say that they
are, each and all, much bigger and better
than ever before, but such is really the fact {.
Besides, Great Jumbo, restored by the skill
of the distinguished naturalist, Prof. Henry
A. Ward, of Rochester n. Y, so that he
looms up as grandly and naturally as in
life, with his huge and massive skeleton
and "Alice, )" his famous wife and widow, at
his side the most extri. ordinary Hairy
Family, reyered as "Masco,s" at King The
baw's court Capt Paul Boyton's novel and
interesting aquatic performanG in an arti-
fetal lake; wonderful and rare additions
have been made to the splendid menagerilj !,
marvellous museum, three circuses aud
colossal Roman hippodrome. The number
Of eminent performers now reaches three
hundred, and they appear in hundred
brilliant presentations, while the stupend-
Gus free daily street parade and succession
of Oriental and geological pageauts is some
thing none should miss. Mr.. Barnum and
his irrepressible eO.partners are ever reach
ing in every direction, to the uttermost end s
of the earth, for new features and original
exhibitive wonders. until now it seems that
their stupendous tents must canopy every
thing eminent and desirable to be obtained
in all the realms of wonderland.

Society Items.

Miss Stella Wick gave a pleasant
party last Thursday evening in honor
of her visitors the Misses Bryson.
About thirty couples were present
and had good time.
One of the most tragical things we
ever heard of, and one which dis
plays the superiority of the gentler
sex in still another field, happened
last week. Two young gentlemen
took two young ladies buggy riding
to Portersville and on the road dis
cussion arose between one of the Ia
dies and one of the gentlemen, and
the lady struck the gentleman such q
terrible blow that she knocked all his
upper t-eth out. TIE gentleman was
unable to say another word till he
got home, and according to some re-
ports not till the next morning when
he went back and got the teeth.
The beautiful home of Mr.. Levi
Purvis on East Pearl street was the
scene of one of the events of the sea-
son, being a party given to his guest
Miss Ernie Payne of TitusvilIe. A
large number of guests were present
and dancing and other amqsements
were kept up till q late hour.

The PENNSYLVANIA State Fair.

The Thirty third Annual Exhibition of the
nsylvania State Agricul tural Society will
open upon the grounds of the Society in
Philadelphia, on Monday, Sept. 5, and will
continue for two weeks, closing on Saturday,
Sept. II, The circumstances under which
the State Fair will be held this year are more
than usually favorable and no effort or
money will be spared to make this exhibition
far exceed anything that has ever before been
seen in the State of Pennsylvania, The an
nual exhibitions of the Society have always
been widely and we'll known, and have each
year brought thousands of people to Phila-
delphia to attend them, but it is safe to say
that the exhibition which is now being ar
ranged will be of wider range and greater in
terest than those of past years.
The grounds of this society are convenient
ly located in Philadelphia, just at the cross
ing of the Pennsylvania and Philadelphia
and Beading railroads, both of which have
stations at the gates Of the grounds, furnish
ing easy access to the exhibition both from
the country and from the centre of the city.
A tract of 80 acres of land is included in the
grounds, giving ample room for thousands of
visitors besides the commodious buildings of
the Society. The exhibition buildings them
selves are substantial structures, rooted with
iron, containing 100000 square feet of floor
space for exhibits, and cost over 100000
Excellent accommodations are provided for
the exhibition of horses, cattle, swine, sheep,
and fowls, and the best facilities for trans
portation are offered by the two railroads,
which deliver liye stock or merchandise at
the grounds, and by Adams Express Co.,
which has an off ce on the grounds.
Every inducement is offered to intending
exhibitors of any class of stock, agricultural
implements or machinery, or general mer-
chandise, and premiums aggregating over
| $50, 900 are offered for competition. There is
| no limit placed upon exhibitors as exhibits
may be entered from any State The prem
| ium list is arranged upon b. lis OF great lib
| erality, and offers substantial remuneration
to meritorious exhibitors.
d. w. Seller, Secretary of the Pennsylva
mia State Agricultural Society, has opened
his Office at No. 10 South Broad St., Philadel.
phia, where intending exhibitors can secure
| any desired information.

The Jubilee of Liberty.

The progress made by the Commission in
arranging the details, and the remarkable
unanimity with which the different State
Governments have responded to invitations
to participate in the celebration OF the one
hundredth birthday of the American Consti
tuition, leaves not the slightest room for
doubt that the demonstration will be the
largest and most imposing event ever held
on American soil, barring only the great eel
ebration of 1876. The grand trades and in
dustrial procession of Sept. 18th will be an
epitome of our industrial progress in one
hundred wears. 1t will comprehend all
branches of industry, and in many inst
the advancement of particular branches will
be demonstrated by working models of the
old contrasted with the new way. Requests
for assignment to positions in the line are
pouring in on the Chief Marshall from every
field of industry in various parts of the coun-
try. -.
The military demonstration of the 10th will
also be most interesting and brilliant fea-
ture. Fifteen thousand troops of the various
Stat es. besides detachments of marines and
regulars, will be present and participate. A
most striking feature of the parade will be
the contrast offered by the Revolutionary
soldier side bJ side with the guardsmen OF
to-day. The North Atlantic squadron will
anchor in the Delaware for the oac; ion, and
a grand naval pageant will form part OF the
spectacular ceremonies.
The principal event of the 17th will be the
commemorative exercises to be presided over
by the President of the United States, and
addressed by Justice of the Supreme Court.
The President and his Cabinet, the represen-
tatives of foreign governments at Washing
ton, the governors Of the States, and distin-
guished people from all parts of the land will
be present during the celebration. In addi.
II. 1l Io~ oho~
of other entertainments, public receptions,
and special features, will serve to make the
three days the most brilliant and interesting
ever known In the history of the Quaker
City,
For the benefit of the vast multitude of
people who will throng to the city on this oc-
casion, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will sell excursion tickets to Philadelphia,
September 13, IA, Is, 16 and II, good to re-
turn until Sept. 20, inclusive, from all sta
tions on its system at one unlimited fare for
the round trip.
